Here you go Joe (see page 83): Procurement of Locomotives and Railcars Bi-Level Railcars – The First Article Inspections (FAI) are continuing for the bi-level railcars. Twenty-seven inspections out of the required 44 have been completed. During Pre-Testing for the Carshell Compression Test, several weld areas failed. The test was halted and an evaluation of the issues is being investigated. Due to the carshell test issues, carshell production has been phased down until the issue is resolved. Fire Safety Tests on materials are 93 percent complete. Several Quality Assurance audits and Manufacturing Readiness Review meetings continue to take place at Nippon Sharyo. |
